Albany Light Opera and Theatre Co’s ‘Let’s Shine’ and Breaksea.org have been working together to create an inspirational performance for the Breaksea Festival at the Albany Entertainment Centre, late November 2021. https://www.breaksea.org/

Let's Shine has produced five productions for people living with disabilities, with 'Lets Shine Forever' winning City of Albany Event of the Year for Australia Day in 2014.

‘Let’s Shine’ requires dancers and actors (no singing or talking parts, no auditions) to perform in a production written by Naomi Lake (mentored by Diane Wolfer), choreographed by Emily O’Brien (mentored by Rita Bush) and co-ordinated by Janet McArtney collaboratively with breaksea.org.

'Let’s Shine' provides a safe environment for people living with disabilities to perform.
